Biography:
Sufjan Stevens (Born July 1, 1975) is an American musician, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Petoskey, Michigan. He is known for his lyrically focused and instrumentally rich songs that often relate to faith and family. He has enjoyed wide critical success in the United States. He is considered part of the folk revival through indie pop, but his influences are very broad, including experimental electronic music, the jazz of Vince Guaraldi, and the academic minimalism of Steve Reich and Philip Glass.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Because some of the chords are inconveniently long to write and very frequent, we shall utilize the following
shorthand:
Cmaj7/G = C*: 332000
C/G = C**: 332010
D6/9add11/A = D*: 554000
D9add11/A = D**: 554030
Further chords:
Bmadd11: x24430
Em*: 022003
Gmaj7: 354433
Em7: 022030
Bm11/F#: 220200
Bm/F#: 224432
Bm(b13): x24032 (use arched index barre)
Bsus4: x24400
The strumming pattern is an approximation; I would recommend strumming only from the second verse.
